When my husband tells me stories about the army I'm not impressed by the professionalism of the officers responsible for him. They seemed so cavalier about life. It was obvious to me from his stories that

I still hold out hope for some of the rarer coins. Still, obviously not a good investment. Of course, you always hope somehow you got that one coin, that one gem that is worth a fortune :))) I think I'm

Priceless! Exactly right. Can't put a price on it. Maybe not an investment, but a thing of beauty. As for the house...yes, an investment and an object of great affection. Owning your own place, not answering

$1700 put in 1985 and not adding anything at all in S&P500 index fund will be worth $180K plus today. Imagine that. I could pay my granddaughter's graduate school tuition. Oh well :)))

I think Taiwan is on the chopping block. Never has the U.S. needed China's cooperation so much. Never has an administration been so short-sighted and so 'transactional'. Trump can't afford to admit defeat

I get offers of new credit cards almost daily I was just sent notice that I'm eligible for a $64,000 car loan. What??? First of all who pays 64,000 for a car? I keep getting notices from the bank that

Me too! No dinner after five. Actually, very little eating after 5. I'm OK in the early part of the day, but later on I will pay. It's not worth it. Sometimes I weaken and I always regret doing that. I

Sorry to send you a chore!As an undergraduate I majored in history, but as you can imagine, I never take a straight road to a destination. I also signed up for many 'unnecessary' courses in Spanish and

Some sourpuss, somewhere is going to pass a law saying it's illegal to have so much fun...because in all your songs, that's what comes through: fun! It's a great thing to hear and see. I even liked the

I didn't realize it wasn't approved. My husband is hesitant, but I think I can persuade him when the time comes. Even if we rent such a car from time to time. It would be lovely, I think. Generally, I'm

I disable AI on every device where that is possible. We read stories like this. We worry about the future with AI, and yet so many of us are already comfortable with turning over our searches, our editing

I just listened to it. Thank you! I love it. Shared it on twitter (refuse to call it X). Very uplifting. Very brave, and heroic. Beautiful music, too

I agree to all that you said, that is a bulk of my personal view as well I am relieved to hear that. I take comfort in kindred spirits because it can be so dispiriting. I am a very sensitive person. I

Self driving. I'm really looking forward to reading about how this works out for you. My husband and I have modified travel opportunities because of physical difficulties. Imagine having a car that acts

My main disappointment right now is the low probability of the last scenario. I remember reading one of your blogs, or one of your comments associated with that blog where you said something like

Of course you would do something illegal. Haven't you said as much in the past? You have contempt for the rules that extract coin and limit freedom. I don't know if you are familiar with a story, "Michael

You analyze the rationale behind voting power on Hive, or Splinterlands. You give a fact-based explanation for why some participants have more power than others. It makes sense, but I don't look into the

Wouldn't it be sad if we didn't change...a life lived and nothing learned :)
